A Pacific storm is moving through San Diego County, bringing drizzle and light rain, and producing wild winds. The National Weather Service says winds gusted to 65 mph at Borrego Springs this morning and 61 mph at Fish Creek. The winds also have hit 46 mph along Interstate 8 at Boulevard and In Ko Pah, 44 mph at Mt. Laguna Observatory and 40 in Ranchita. The winds are making driving difficult in some areas, especially along Interstate 8 in East County. (There is fog and mist at higher elevations.) The strong gusts will last throughout the morning.

A high wind warning is in effect for the eastern-most area of the county.

Our Rob Krier says the strong winds are being produced by, "A strong pressure gradient between the coast and inland areas is driving the winds. Air moves from relative high pressure to low pressure, and a low-pressure system was forecast to be over the Great Basin this morning. Also contributing to the winds is the proximity of the jet stream, which was expected to be over the county briefly this morning."

Krier also reports this morning that, "Lindbergh is now up to 0.1''. That makes season total 10.61; last year's was 10.55. So it's now the wettest season since 04-05 (22.49 inches)."

The weather service says,"High pressure aloft will bring warming Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by dry weather and seasonable temperatures through the end of the week."
